Abstract
A study of the effects of ozonation on polybutadiene, polyisoprene, and several related hydrocarbon elastomers has shown that elastomers containing di‐substituted double bonds (e.g., cis‐1,4‐polybutadiene) give crosslinked products as well as chain scission products in nonpolar solvents, whereas those containing tri‐substituted double bonds (e.g., cis‐1,4‐polyisoprene) give chain scission products only. Both types of elastomer, however, give only chain scission products in polar solvents. Further investigation of the ozonation of elastomers, including the effect of ozonides of monoolefins and the solvent effect has led us to postulate that the chain scission involves the attack of a second ozone molecule on the preformed ozonide, and, the crosslinking is due to the attack of the biradical carbonyl oxide on the rubber.Keywords
